About This Item
New York, NY: John Wiley & Sons, 1966 John Wiley & Sons, New York. 1966. Hardcover. Stated 8th Printing. Book is tight, square, and unmarked but for F/O name and stamp on the front pastedown. Book Condition: Fine. No DJ. Red grained flexible boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine and front board. Tables index printed on the rear pastedown. 250 pp 12mo. In building sites, there can be a problem that arises in the analysis of a building site and the preparation of the site plan. Many architectural offices lack the men who are qualified for this work and without going into a surveying course, this book explains in detail the solution to problems of this nature and many examples are presented. This book will help the architect perform the office computations that result from surveying data. A clean very presentable copy.
